Abstract

A cover for a laryngoscope which includes a generally elongated cylindrical handle, a branch member and an insertion member. The cover generally comprises an end sheath, a Y-branch portion connected to the end sheath and two cylindrical sleeves connected to the Y-branch portion. The tapered sheath covers the insertion member and has a closed end. The Y-branch portion covers an area adjacent the joint between the handle and the branch member and preferably comprises an expandable structure. Each of the cylindrical sleeve covers the handle and the branch member, respectively. As a result, the laryngoscope itself is shielded from the contact with the interior of the mouth and the larynx. Once the cover is used, the cover may be discarded. Accordingly, cleaning and sterilization of the laryngoscope are substantially facilitated and hygienic operation of the laryngoscope is improved.
